Photo taken in Charlotte Harbor on our trip to Bradenton by a boater we met in Punta Gorda

Jane checking out the lightening, the Pier in the background.

The day before we had too much wind this day nothing to race on.  Sailboats being towed back in to harbor.

Example of Dale Chihuly seafoam collection

Chichuly loves color.  He has used these balls to be floated in waterways throughout the world.

This is part of a series in the museum that is on a glass ceiling in a hallway.

He uses these painting for the concept for the glass art.  They are done with canvas on the floor,

 dribbled paint.

The lower pieces of glass are hung from wire and the top put over spikes.

Glass chunk tower at the museum entrance.

Nothing like a homemade biscuit and the fresh Plant City strawberries from the market.
